Restart your computer to install the decompressor

You must have a decompressor installed on your computer before some media files can play. If a required decompressor is not available on your computer, Windows Media Player attempts to download and install it.

This error indicates that the decompressor downloaded but then failed to install automatically. Installation of the decompressor may require a restart of your computer to install. Typically, you are prompted to restart your computer, but the prompt may have failed. Restart your computer and try to play the file again.
